Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi, I have'nt posted anything for quite a while but would like to share a picture of my first cloth doll with some of her bear friends. She did'nt turn out quite as I would have liked, but I've learned a lot while making her! Hi to all!

Thanks for the heads-up Bobbie, I've got a lot to learn!

Thanks Gail, that does help. I would'nt have thought to steam after the bear is made. I read somewhere once that hair products can be used when finishing off natural fibre bears aswell, like hairspray or gel?  I have'nt tried but now that i know mohair can be cleaned (if it doesnt turn out so great) maybe i'll give it a try.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to make a better plan for storage.It really was frustrating to find a lovely piece of fabric squashed. I'm still learning about working with mohair as i've had to work with synthetics quite a lot in the past. But mohair makes all the difference does'nt it!
Thanks again
Leslea

Hi all, I just wanted to share Anthony, that i've just finished. I'm quite chuffed with him. At least i'm managing to keep my nose stitches from slipping off at last  :dance:
Hope you're all having a great day!

Thanks Shane, it is a straight mohair so i'll give it a bash.

Hi all! I have a piece of mohair that's been hanging around for a while and the fur has been squashed up in the wrong direction in pathches :redface:  I have tried gently brushing it without effect. Would it be ok to wet the fur slightly and brush it then or is there anouther way to correct this.
I would appreciate any advice you may have,
thanks
